Dean Tells Exports Here That
Process Will Build Ships
MUCH USED IN ENGLAND1
Kloctric welding will snewnl riveting
In tlmi as n moniiM of holding together
tccl ships, according to Comfort A.
Adnnis, denn of the engineering school
at Ilnrrnrd. ntid n government experi
menter with uridine apparatus during
the mu 1
Professor Adams spoke last night nt
Joint meeting of the Krnnklin Insti
tute nnd the American Institute of
Klcctrleal Knglncoro in the Franklin
Institute. His subject wns "Klectrlo
Welding ns Applied to Shipbuilding."
First Tried In 1877
Thc first electric w elding. Professor
Adams said, nns done in I'hlludelphiii
in 1S77 by I'rof. I'liliu Thompson. It
was not, however, until 1MI tlmt the
first patents were issued on the process.
Itut at that time the power plants of the
city were so inadequate that efficient
Work in large amount was impossible.
"Kleetric welding will replace rivet
ing in the construction of ships," said
l'rofessor Adams, "in Jut the degree
of advance we mnke in learning the
Intricacies of the work. To m mind,
however, it will be many years before
we can go without the riveter in the
shipyard. , ., , , ,
"Under the plans for Hog Island
some "00,000 parts were to have been
welded. So far as I know that pro- i
(ram was carried out."
Xml New Kind of Ship
An entirely utu- design of ship is
needed to allow for the u-r of electric
welding instead of meting, according
to Dean Adams. Ho honed a design
upon which experiments were being
made by the Kniergeucj Fleet, Corpora -tiou
when the armistice was signal.
The design calls for the placing of plates
vertically. Work starts from the stern
nnd proceeds forward with huge por
table spot welders to tack the plates
together at the approximate spacing of
rivets. Arc welding would then be
used to close up the seams. An ex
perimental plant was under construc
tion when the war ended and assistance
Mas withdrawn. '
Dean Adams showed a picture of n
125-foot barge built in Kugland nnd
used in the rough ehnnnel service during
the, war. Kvery part was welded. There
was not a rlet in the barge.
The speaker a No showed a picture
of a welded boat that has been in serv
ice iu Ashtabula harbor for four years.
It has been caught in the ice and was
once distorted by being squeezed be
tween two boats, but was straightened
out again and is now in service.
